Reviews Goldfish

I purchased the LG Hx300g for our local Vectorworks (CAD) user group. We use it to demonstrate CAD techniques and view drawings. Group members bring their own laptops (mostly a Mac group, but some PC users as well) and had no problems with linking to the projector. We were unanimously impressed with its bright clear image and its ability to display the fine detail of the CAD images. I should mention the projector was reasonably easy to focus since this is not mentioned in any of the reviews and it was difficult to achieve an accurate focus on many of the other pico and palm projectors I tried. The Hx300g features native XGA which allows us to display the higher screen resolutions from the laptops without losing much information. Many of the palm sized projectors have the ability to display at higher resolutions, but achieve it through digital processing. At the time of this review, I still haven't found another small LED-based projector with native XGA resolution and decent (270)... Read more

What I did upon unboxing:
Set it up in a semi darkened room = not too bad a picture for presentations. Would definatly need the nearest lights off when presenting.

Set it up in a darkened room with an Playstation 3 = Very impressed with the resolution. Displayed great colours with a 1.2m (diag) screen. Displayed good colours with a 2.5-3.0m screen. 4m screen still had a pretty good display.This was only on a matt white smooth wall.

Set it up under the top bunk, facing down the end of my bed... Read more

Pretty much the same as the LG HS201 I have, but better. Comes with a case and has a resolution 1024x768, my computer gives me options for up to 1600x1200, which makes it useable with a computer. The menus look about the same as the HS201, the remote is thicker. I uploaded some images if you want a better idea of what it's like. I have projected onto both a white wall and a tan wall with good results. I was surprised how white the color was on a tan wall. Picked it up for 625 so not a bad upgrade for the extra 125 you are getting a bag and better res, well worth it. I love the look of this and it is not too loud. This does have a bit of a screen door like the LG HS201 has but I never notice it unless I stand up next to the wall. If I was choosing between this and a 55" TV I'd get this. You can flip the image for rear projection as well as rotate it for ceiling mounting. Can't wait to get an iPad 2 and hook an HDMI into this. You can use an Apple TV with this, the audio goes through... Read more
